Now That We Don't Talk (From The Vault)

You went to a party I heard from everybody You part the crowd like the Red-Sea Don't even get me started Did you get anxious though On the way home? I guess I'll never, ever know Now that we don't talk You grew your hair long You got new icons And from the outside It looks like you're tryin' lives on I miss the old ways You didn't have to change But I guess I don't have a say Now that we don't talk I call my mom, she said that it was for the best Remind myself, the more I gave, you'd want me less I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost And what it cost, now that we don't talk What do you tell your friends we Shared dinners, long weekends with? Truth is, I can't pretend it's Platonic, it's just ended, so I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest (Off my chest) Remind myself the way you faded 'til I left (Until I left) I cannot be your friend, so I pay the price of what I lost (Of what I lost) And what it cost, now that we don't talk I don't have to pretend I like acid rock Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht With important men who think important thoughts Guess maybe I am better off now that we don't talk And the only way back to my dignity Was to turn into a shrouded mystery Just like I had been when you were chasing me Guess this is how it has to be now that we don't talk
